    Cântaro Magro is one of the most iconic and spectacular rock formations in the Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain range in mainland Portugal.

    This imposing granite spire is the result of millions of years of glacial erosion and weathering. Its name, which means "Skinny Pitcher", perfectly describes its slender and elongated silhouette.

      This section between 1700-1900 m give us a beautiful view of the “cântaros” on the right side of the uphill road. Search for “Covão d’Ametade” to get the all picture. Enjoy Estrela, a cycling paradise of Portugal.

        On the way to the summit, look on your right side. Cantaro Magro.
